Williams, a senior, is due in court June 9 to answer to the misdemeanor charge. In the meantime, he has been suspended by Boilermaker coach Joe Tiller "for conduct detrimental to the squad."

This is not the first time Williams has been in trouble. In December he pleaded guilty to operating a vehicle while intoxicated. He was sentenced to 364 days of unsupervised probation, terms of which require that he maintain good and lawful behavior.
